Ukraine is ready to pay up to $50 billion for a future military aid package from the U.S.

Axar.az reports, citing Ukrainan media, this was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelensky's statement came as future U.S. aid to Kyiv remains uncertain amid President Donald Trump's major shift in the country's policy on the Russia-Ukraine war.

According to Zelensky, the funds allocated to help Ukraine under the Biden administration have not yet been exhausted, but Kyiv wants an additional package from the Trump administration.

"We handed over to the American side a large package that we want to buy. To buy in one form or another," the president said.

"Many different formats and tools that we are ready for. We were ready to find both $30 billion and $50 billion for a suitable package."

Ukraine sees the purchase of the aid package that would include air defense systems and other much needed arms as a potential security guarantee from Washington.

"There is an agreement, we are giving money. Accordingly, (if) you want (we can pay) either to this (Reconstruction Investment) Fund, or to you (the U.S.) directly. It makes no difference to us," Zelensky said.
